Post subject:  East Broad Top Smokebox Blowdown Design

I was interested in the plumbing set up used on an EBT engine to clean the smokebox of debris and soot. Our 70 class WP&Y locomotive is notorious for blowing crap all over the place if it has been idle for more than 30 minutes, and sitting overnight with a banked fire will trash anything once the engine is moved for the first time. If you would like to see a video of what I'm referring to on the East Broad Top, I've included a link.

Thanks
